Fandom Snowflake 2022: Challenge #14

Snowflake Challenge promotional banner with image of white glittery craft snowflakes with glitter and gems and pink and green polka dot paper on a red background. Text: Snowflake Challenge January 1-31.

Challenge #14: In your own space, post your pictures of your fandom scavenger hunt results.

Look around your current space, whether digital or brick-n-mortar. Post a pic or description of:

1. a fannish item: Yu Yu Hakusho trading cards, which are hopefully going to get the same treatment as my Pokemon cards by getting framed and hung on the wall

Two stacks of trading cards, some in plastic sleeves and some plain, with images from the anime Yu Yu Hakusho.

2. something round: Pokeball thingy--I'm impatiently awaiting my copy of Pokemon Legends: Arceus

A pokeball peripheral toy for the Nintendo Switch console.

3. something that is your favorite color: green teacup, which lives in the DVD shelves and is older than I am

A china teacup with a solid glaze of bright green, an elegant handle and saucer in white, and gold edging.

4. the last game you played (video, phone, table top, etc.): here's (a photo of my TV screen on which I am playing) Animal Crossing, and my house that I decorated for my birthday

An image from the game Animal Crossing, showing a small human figure dressed in green, standing in a festive room decorated with pink furniture, birthday signs and balloons, and various foods.

5. a book you are currently reading: T. Kingfisher's A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking

A paperback book with a purple cover, with the text, decorative curls, and a gingerbread figure holding a sword all done in gold.

6. album art of the first song that comes up on shuffle: "Blue Prelude" by Peggy Lee

An album cover in shades of blue and grey, showing a photo of Peggy Lee in an updo and an icon of a retro microphone.

7. the last movie you watched: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, for which I offer this assortment of genre-bent trailers--



9. the homescreen, lockscreen, or desktop wallpaper from your device: a screenshot from Car Boys, which is...hard to explain, nominally about cars, and someone's existential crisis with added jiggle physics

A screenshot from a PC game, showing the side of a yellow school bus on a grassy field. Next to the back tires and embedded in the ground up to the chest is a tan crashtest dummy with warning symbols on it.

These are all fascinating entries! That tea cup is utterly beautiful.

Thank you. I have matching ones in light and dark pink and two in yellow. They were my grandmother's, and perhaps someone's before that, so I'm sure it was part of a set of eight or something originally. These are the surviving ones.

I am Very Intrigued by that book title. I may have to engage in some investigations!

*giggle* It is exactly as delightfully weird as the title would imply.

T. Kingfisher is the name under which Ursula Vernon writes her YA/adult books (she has several children's series as well). She also does podcasts and illustrates, and she is one of my absolute favorite people in general. Cannot recommend highly enough.

That's enough of a ringing endorsement for me; it's on the list. Thanks :)
